— danawhite (@danawhite) March 16, 2021For the first time in more than a year, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will hold an event in front of a capacity crowd.
UFC president Dana White announced Monday that UFC 261 will take place at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., on April 24. The 15,000-seat venue is where the UFC initially went to hold a trio of events in May 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down operations for approximately two months.
